Hokuyo sensor selection questions

How do I choose a Hokuyo sensor?

Start with the application, required sensing range, field of view, target characteristics, operating environment, response time, interface, output type, and whether the application requires a safety-rated device. Then verify the complete model number against the current Hokuyo-USA specification sheet.

What is the difference between a safety laser scanner and an obstacle detection sensor?

A safety laser scanner is designed and certified for personnel-protection functions when properly integrated. A general obstacle detection sensor supports navigation, equipment protection, or area monitoring but should not be assumed to provide a safety-rated protective function.

Where can I verify current Hokuyo product specifications?

Use the Product page and Specs links provided with each result to confirm the current range, field of view, response time, environmental rating, wiring, interface, certifications, and model suffixes on Hokuyo-USA's website.
